Would you like a slice? Oh, I'm sorry..... I ate it all. 6 months ago! I should have posted this picture then when the prepping, baking and eating were a little more recent. But I made it...it's real...and it was spectacular! lol

sisters....sisters...

there were never such devoted sisters.

family time...

Thinking inside the box...

Staring at kitty...

It was so great having Rebecca and Ethnie with us this past week! We had a lot of fun for not doing much, lol. And the lil' cousins got along surprisingly well. I mean, what's a little hair pulling between family? I was really sad to see them both go but I know that we'll be together soon~

new and improved...

A great big thank you to Linde for editing this photo! I mean honestly, how gorgeous is it?? Make sure you click on the photo to blow it up, the detail is phenomenal~

The real birthday cake...it's a whopper!

All set up and ready to mess up, haha!

Blaine, would you like some water? You look parched.

Thought I would post a few more from Blaine's birthday. We had such a good time! Of course, I was a nervous wreck and wanted everything to go perfect....but it was still fun, lol.

*sob.....my little baby is a little boy. I cannot believe that a whole year has passed since this tiny miracle entered our lives. There have been some pretty stressful days, I'm not going to lie :)....but the good, great and wonderful ones outnumber them by far! Happy birthday my son~

**Blaine's birthday is actually the 12th....

Gotta wash it all down...

I do believe every child has a picture taken of their spaghetti face. I couldn't resist posting Blaine's!

Sooooo, are you going to wipe my face or what?
